[NCSG-EC] Organizational rep/Individual members

[farzaneh badii]

Dear all,

At the moment the organizational reps can also be individual members.
Apparently, it has been discussed repeatedly in the past with no decision.
Other than they said it is not against the charter.

I started contacting those who were listed as an individual and
organizational rep on the check-in list and had the impression that it was
the practice that they cannot be both for voting purposes. Tapani corrected
me and said it was discussed but never decided against:

I personally think it is unfair to allow organizational reps who are
individual members to vote twice. This is because organizational reps
normally have autonomy from their organization and do not have a mandate as
such. That provides them with the opportunity to be able to vote twice and
I think we need to fix it.

It might be too late to do this in this election but we need to discuss
with members and make a decision. I can explain the rationale to those who
are reping and org and are individual members and allow them to decide what
they want to do for this election voluntarily until we make a decision.


This is important please chime in, and we will also discuss with the list.


Best
